More quotes by Oscar Wilde
I never saw anybody take so long to dress, and with such little result.
Oscar Wilde
Palermo was lovely. The most beautifully situated town in the world - it dreams away its life in the Conca d'Oro, the exquisite valley that lies between two seas. The lemon groves and the orange gardens were entirely perfect.
Oscar Wilde
Dullness is the coming of age of seriousness.
Oscar Wilde
The systems that fail are those that rely on the permanency of human nature, and not its growth and development.
Oscar Wilde
The tragedy of growing old is not that one is old but that one is young.
Oscar Wilde
A man is called affected, nowadays, if he dresses as he likes to dress. But in doing that he is acting in a perfectly natural manner. Affectation, in such matters, consists in dressing according to the views of one's neighbour, whose views, as they are the views of the majority, will probably be extremely stupid.
Oscar Wilde
If God really wanted to punish, he'd answer all our prayers.
Oscar Wilde
Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.
Oscar Wilde
A man who does not think for himself does not think at all. It is grossly selfish to require of one's neighbour that he should think in the same way, and hold the same opinions. Why should he? If he can think, he will probably think differently. If he cannot think, it is monstrous to require thought of any kind from him.
Oscar Wilde
A simile committing suicide is always a depressing spectacle.
Oscar Wilde
There is no doubt that genius lasts longer than beauty.
Oscar Wilde
All art is quite useless.
Oscar Wilde
I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed man.
Oscar Wilde
A truth ceases to be true when more than one person believes in it.
Oscar Wilde
My friend is not allowed to go out today. I sit by his side and read him passages from his own life. They fill him with surprise. Everyone should keep someone else's diary I sometimes suspect you of keeping mine.
Oscar Wilde
The worst thing to do with success, is to boast about it.
Oscar Wilde
We live in the age of the overworked and the undereducated.
Oscar Wilde
The liar at any rate recognizes that recreation, not instruction, is the aim of conversation, and is a far more civilized being than the blockhead who loudly expresses his disbelief in a story which is told simply for the amusement of the company.
Oscar Wilde
Please do not shoot the pianist. He is doing his best.
Oscar Wilde
There is more to be said for stupidity than people imagine. Personally I have a great admiration for stupidity. It is a sort of fellow-feeling, I suppose.
Oscar Wilde
